Cast vs. Forged Crank?

A buddy used to run NHRA Stock Eliminator with a 71 Mustang and 351C 4sp. At the line on the two-step it was at 7000. Through the traps at 8200. Stock crank, stock rods, stock intake and Autolite carb. Held several class records in Div 1.

The Cleveland was badass. No question about it. I have always said that had the R&D on them been 5 years earlier, they could have been a Hemi killer.
